Station House, Witney, OX28

Station House enjoys an exceptional location just moments from the prestigious Church Green, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a unique family home originally constructed in 1934 for the Station Master. This impressive residence, set within a generous south-facing plot of approximately a quarter acre, provides a high level of seclusion and privacy, and has been cherished by the same family for over a decade.

This striking family residence offers stylish, characterful accommodation arranged over three floors, and the welcoming entrance hall immediately conveys the quality and character found throughout. A bespoke oak staircase leads to the heart of the home, a stunning kitchen/dining/family room that is both contemporary and practical, featuring an extensive range of fitted units, integrated appliances, stone work surfaces, underfloor heating, and two sets of bi-fold doors that flood the space with natural light. The ground floor also offers a dual aspect sitting room with a striking fireplace, wood burning stove, oak beams, and wooden floors, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. A versatile fourth bedroom or reception room (with fireplace and potential for restoration), a modern refitted shower room, and a practical utility room complete the ground floor layout. The utility room also provides access to the top tier of the garden which showcases a large Koi Carp pond with pergola surround, paved patio with tropical plant house, and covered gazebo providing space for alfresco entertaining throughout the seasons.

Upstairs, three well-proportioned bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom provide comfortable accommodation, with scope for further bedrooms subject to planning permission.

The property is approached via an oak pedestrian gate, while double electric gates offer vehicular access and ample parking. A fabulous, additional attribute is the detached double storey building at the rear of the plot offering annexe potential (stpp), currently comprising a ground floor studio (used as a gym/games room/storage), a sizeable workshop, and a first floor with a medium size office, a larger room, and WC with kitchenette, making it perfect for a home business or extended family living. The flexibility and possibilities of this building are ripe for exploration. A charming shepherd’s hut provides additional additional space.

The Leys recreational park, St Mary’s Church, and attractive riverside walks are all within easy reach, as are public transport links, shops, eateries, and sports facilities in the vibrant town centre. Altogether, Station House represents the epitome of town centre living, combining substantial, characterful accommodation with outstanding flexibility and an enviable location. An appointment to view is essential to fully appreciate all that this remarkable home has to offer.

Witney is a delightful market town on the edge of the Cotswolds and historically connected with the wool trade and blanket making.
